==Background==
===GAC Early Warning===
The application was issued a [[GAC]] Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Nov 2012</ref>

The warning states that the TLD refers to a regulated market but that the applicant has not provided for adequate measures to protect from consumer harm.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Mortgage-AU-75367.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353388850000 Mortgage AU, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref>

OUR PROTECTIONS
OUR PROTECTIONS
Donuts has consulted with and evaluated the ideas of international law enforcement, consumer privacy advocacy organizations, intellectual property interests and other Internet industry groups to create a set of protections that far exceed those in existing TLDs, and bring to the Internet namespace nearly two dozen new rights and protection mechanisms to raise user safety and protection to a new level.

==Ownership Transfer to Rightside==
Donuts applied for .mortgage through Outer Gardens, LLC which is a subsidiary of [[Covered TLD, LLC]]. Donuts used Covered TLD to apply for 107 of its 307 New gTLD applications, and it is believed that Rightside (through subsidiary United TLD Holdco) has the option to gain an ownership stake in the TLD applications under Covered TLD. Thus there are a number of the 107 TLDs under Covered TLD in which ownership was transferred from Donuts to Rightside.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2014/01/13/donuts-assigns-rights-to-futbol-and-reviews-top-level-domains-to-demand-medias-rightside/ Donuts Assigns Rights to .futbol and .reviews TLDs to Demand Media's Rightside, DomainNameWire.com] Retrieved 04 June 2014</ref>
===Contract Signed===
On 20 March 2014 Donuts received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by ICANN for .mortgage after passing all the required processes needed to become a Registry Operator for the string. Donuts later assigned the Registry Agreement to Rightside (United TLD Holdco, Ltd.).<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries-date Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 3 June 2014</ref>
==Delegation and Availability==
.mortgage was delegated to the Root Zone of the [[DNS]] on 31 May 2014, completing the successful application for the string.<ref name="delegation"></ref>
